This is a challenging personal project for me where I've been attempted to create a new body kit for the Mercedes W124 models to be able to 3D print in the future. Also render of the indoor garage environment was very challenging and is created by me, which is full CGI. This project is still in development at stage 2 for the moment; stage 3 is the final where you can fully install this body kit unto your car by 3D-printing.
The reason for making such body-kit for W124:
The reason for making such body-kit for W124:
When BRABUS revealed their E-class 900 Undercover Rocket, they also gave the title such as " Wolf in Sheep's clothing " but in reality, that title only belong to the W124 E500E models where it does not distinguish from stock body kit (except for the flare fenders) but has a roaring V8 under the hood.
So I began to make a customized modernized body-kit, where I partially took it from G-wagon 900 Rocket front bumper and give more room for airflows for the turbo cooler and engine cooler with front lips. Wider fenders. The rear bumper is from the AMG Gen 2 but made changes for adding the lips, diffuser and exhaust system in carbon fiber. We have also a new panamera grille with carbon fiber "nostrils" as you could call it which has never been done on W124 before. Same design language as typical BRABUS Rocket lineup. For the side skirt is wider on the end, new formed modern lines at wheel fender arc that follows around the car as continuous flow.
Stay tuned for the next project where I will make a new shots of this model in outdoor scene this time with different wheels!

Firstly, I want to thank the discord Automotive CGI community ( Luise and TS) for helping me.
Very special thanks to Christer Stormark (aka Glacius) for guiding me thru with his work experience and sharing his knowledge and tips. Also shared Vossen 3 spoke wheels with me from one of his Koenigsegg project to really fit for my BRABUS model. The wheel can be found here: VPS-317 - Vossen Wheels
Very special thanks to Elijah Sakiyah where I’m honored to come across with his massive golden treasure of knowledge. I’m highly recommending everybody Elijah’s website at SCIENTIA (skientia.co) where it’s very straightforward, no BS and anti-misinformation. And it’s free source of knowledge for everyone who wants to learn. You don’t need Octane-render engine to follow; it applies with the same fundamental principles for all engines and workflows.
Thank you for stopping by!
